Description
“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”
~ Georgia O’Keeffe
~ 1887-1986
A beautiful zinnia gushes with color on a late summer evening in early September at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
Zinnia is a genus of plants of the sunflower tribe within the daisy family. They gush in color, including white, chartreuse, yellow, orange, red purple and lilac. Their tendency to attract butterflies and hummingbirds is seen as desirable. The genus honors German master botanist Johann Gottfried Zinn (1727-1759).
